Why isn’t it better ?
Not the weather itself, although that leaves to be desired - the forecasts !
I have a commercial interest and whilst every Tom, Dick and Harry can tell you what’s going to happen tomorrow no one seems to be able to get the 3,4 day forecast right – that’s were the big money is.
I use Frank Singletons - http://www.franksingleton.clara.net/ - brilliant web site but the further out you go with the charts the less reliable it becomes (obvious !).
Take this weekend, on Tuesday all were saying looks like super holiday weather - warm and sunny. Now we have it…… its cold and wet.
My point is that the weather happens every day and whilst the highly complex nature of the system would have been problematical years ago surely with the massive number crunching ability that we have now and by refining the model day on day we would be at a position by now where we had it cracked ?
Instead this or that low or high floats lower/higher faster/slower than predicted and its all to cock again. Can’t we understand and predict that detail yet with all the super computers we have ?
I am really surprised at this stage that we can’t model it accurately further forward than we actually can.
